Kamo-Zen

A short distance from theme parks, the boardwalk/promenade, and more, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. Your feet will make short work of the 12-minute walk to Kawaramachi Street or the 11-minute walk to Yasaka Shrine. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Kiyomizu-gojo Station, a short 11-minute walk away.

As you settle into this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a down comforter, a fireplace, and luggage storage. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the flat-screen TV. Bathroom amenities include an indoor private bath, a hair dryer, and a toilet with electronic bidet. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with a stovetop and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer. Other amenities include bed sheets, a desk, an ironing board, and air conditioning.
